What makes our theaters different

Designed with the artist in mind, our two brand new theaters are set up to make your vision into a reality. Flexible seating on moveable risers allows for almost endless space arrangements. 18' grids open up possibilities for set design. Three beautiful AEA compliant dressing rooms with backstage bathrooms and shower makes it easy to get your casts ready. Best yet, floors and walls can be painted and modified to make building your set a reality. 24-hour exclusive access means you can rehearse, build, and perform day or night, without interruption. There is no hourly or per-show fee, only a flat, simple, and affordable per-week rate. Oh, and did we mention the brand-new state-of-the-art equipment? Be a part of the most buzz-worthy building in the heart of the new Capitol Hill Arts District!
